While served neat the nose of exotic spices smolder with a veneer of sweet cream. On the palate it presents flavors of dried apricot dipped in sweet milk chocolate with a confit of early summer strawberries. The addition of a little water evokes bittersweet chocolate ice cream topped with crunchy, dried cherry granola and rich apricot jam. Crushed salt-licked minerality with a velvetty long-stewed orange marmalade coat the tongue on the finish.
